Back to Stakeholders

The Carey and Claudia Turnbull Family Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation that has been one of the earliest and most influential funders of psychedelic medicine research, supporting psilocybin studies at NYU, Yale, and Johns Hopkins—including helping establish Yale’s psychedelic psychiatry training curriculum and endowing research at the NYU Center for Psychedelic Medicine, where Carey Turnbull chairs the advisory board. Carey Turnbull also serves as President of the Heffter Research Institute and co-founded B.More and Ceruvia Lifesciences, further extending the family’s commitment to advancing psychedelic therapies for depression, addiction, and OCD.
